How do I determine if a Windows2000 client that is logging in, is doing that through RAS ???

Our old script looks like this (this is for Windows95 machines) :
-----------------------------------------
$ras_value=readvalue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\REMOTE ACCESS","remote connection")

if $ras_value=01000000
; the thing to dooo
end if
-----------------------------------------

This doesnt work on windows2000 clients.
Of course, because the registry doesn't look the same.

Anyone who can help me rewrite this so it also works for Windows2000 clients ?

Regards,
Stefan

Have you tried KiXtart's @RAS macro ?

-Shawn

But how do I use it ?

"For WinNT use the CheckRas utility from the resource kit and check the @error macro.

If @error=1
$RAS=YES
endif
"

Is that the only way ?

If I use the RAS macro, do i also have to
use the CheckRas utility ?

Please help

with the macro you can simply do it like this :

code:

---

if @ras
   ;@ras is non-zero = User is dialing up
else
   ;User isn't dialing up
endif

Do you know how to do it in earlier versions of Kix ?

Is there a way to do it without the @RAS-macro ? Let say, using the registry for instance ?

/Stefan

don't nail me to it , but i think @ras was
there since at least 3.43 (same usage)

So why complicate things

_________________________

The @ras macro was introduced at kixtart version 3.40
A complete list of kixtart updates is.

• first number is introduction of command, function or macro.
  no number means: it was there from the beginning.
  
• second number is remove of some statement. only the OLExx functions
  are removed at kixtart 2001 and are replaced by other functions.
